Pilots that never ship
Months go into approvals, data access and set-up before any real work starts.
An intake gate and fixed delivery bands so the clock only starts when you're ready.
New The SpaceXTech AI Factory framework
Turn AI ambition into a capability that ships.
SpaceXTech is a vendor-neutral AI consulting firm. We design your AI strategy, operating model and governance, so your teams deliver AI that's valuable, safe and repeatable.

The problem
Most AI programs don't fail on technology. They stall on structure.
Pilots multiply, vendors pile up, and nobody can say what's in production or what it's worth. These are the five patterns we see most often, and how we fix them.
Fragmented vendors
Strategy, build and infrastructure sit with different partners, and nobody owns the outcome.
One operating model with named owners, decision rights and a single portfolio view.
No view of AI in production
Model drift, incidents, cost and realized value are tracked in silos, if at all.
Monitoring built into the go-live gate, with one dashboard for value, risk and cost.
Skills leave with the vendor
Your teams lose the ability to specify, evaluate and govern what you buy.
Capability transfer with milestones your people prove by doing the work themselves.
Lock-in you can't exit
Code, models and know-how live in someone else's systems.
You own every artifact from day one: runbooks, model cards and lineage included.
One framework fixes all five
The SpaceXTech AI Factory gives you a repeatable way to choose, build, govern and run AI, whoever does the building.

The SpaceXTech AI Factory
Five stages. Clear gates. You stay in control.
Every AI product moves through the same proven path, with a sign-off at each gate. Your team decides; we design the system and keep it honest.

AI Strategy & Roadmap
Ambition, value pools and a sequenced roadmap tied to business outcomes, not technology trends.
02Use-Case Discovery & Prioritization
Find, score and sequence the use cases worth doing, by value at stake and ease of delivery.
03Operating Model & AI CoE
Squads, roles, decision rights and the rhythm that keeps AI delivery moving.
04AI Factory Design & Oversight
Stand up the intake gate, sizing model and stage gates, then keep delivery honest.
05AI Governance & Responsible AI
Risk tiers, autonomy limits and controls mapped to NIST AI RMF and ISO/IEC 42001.
06 · Capability Building & Handover
Your people learn by doing, with milestones they prove on real products, until they run the AI Factory themselves.
Advice kept apart from deliveryWe don't resell software or bid for the build.
How we're different
Consulting that ends with your team in control
We're not a dev shop and we don't sell platforms. That keeps our advice honest, and it means success looks like you needing us less over time.
01
Vendor-neutral by design
We help you choose tools and partners on merit, then hold them to account.
02
You own everything
Strategies, operating models, templates and playbooks are yours, with no licenses attached.
03
Built to hand over
Every engagement has a capability-transfer plan with milestones your team proves.
Industries
One framework, applied to your world
The AI Factory works across sectors because it's about how you choose, govern and run AI, not one specific technology.
